The District of Waldeck-Frankenberg
Located in the heart of Germany, Waldeck-Frankenberg is Hesse’s largest district by area and has plenty of room for people to flourish. It is home to young couples, families, nature lovers, fans of culture, sporting types and career-minded professionals, as well as being a place where other people like to come on holiday. Youngsters can enjoy a carefree childhood surrounded by nature. There is space here for the whole family.
The educational landscape in Waldeck-Frankenberg also offers numerous opportunities and challenges. To meet students’ requirements for the long term, it is crucial to develop innovative, needs-based, forward-looking concepts for the school system in future too. This is what the district has been striving to achieve in education for the years ahead.
With the world heritage site Kellerwald-Edersee national park and the GrenzWelten Geopark, Waldeck-Frankenberg offers sustainable and extraordinary places for education outside school too. They also contribute to the high quality of the education offer – as well as fully exploiting the education potential for the future.
“We’d like children to be encouraged in line with their aptitudes and abilities as much as possible. It’s something that the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg is championing. And naturally this also applies to the arts. So we’re very much looking forward to the flying artist’s room stopping off in Waldeck-Frankenberg this year.“
Jürgen van der Horst, district administrator
